LA Dodgers Deny Access to ICE Agents
By Reuters | 19 Jun, 2025
Under pressure from its heavily Latino fan base, the Los Angeles Dodgers have blocked ICE agents from entering its parking lot Thursday ahead of an evening game.
The Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday said they had denied U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents access to the parking lot at Dodger Stadium earlier in the day.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots," the team said in a post on X.
"They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled."
The Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said CBP vehicles used the parking lot briefly.
"This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
The Dodgers, whose fanbase includes a large number of Latinos, have come under fire in recent days for not speaking out publicly against raids by ICE agents across the city.
